<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] by&nbsp;Don Sagrott&nbsp;founder @ sospep.com&nbsp;-&nbsp;documenting the changes in&nbsp;FEELS after going on&nbsp;<a href="/view/article?id=5166" target="_blank">my DIET-sans-sucre</a></li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;to monitor the results of being on the DIET-no-sugar by recording how I feel VS just recording <a href="/view/article?id=5188" target="_blank">weights &amp; measure</a></li>

</ol>
<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<ol>
<li>[2016-08-01] no cravings</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - today was a much better day, after a late lunch/early dinner wasnt really hungry for any dinner, so Didnt eat any. No cravings in the evening at all, felt full. Some watermelon as a&nbsp;last snack around 8pm except for 1 or 2&nbsp;bites of chips shortly before bed. </li>
</ol>
<li>&nbsp;[2016-08-04] a bad day </li>
<ol>
<li>] # # -&nbsp;after 3 very good days on the diet plan, today was a BAD day.&nbsp;Now&nbsp;ones first instinct&nbsp;might be&nbsp;to "sweep it under the carpet", maybe i won't write down that 2nd ice cream treat or perhaps I will&nbsp;"forget" about some of the other unworthy&nbsp;fooditems&nbsp;one had&nbsp; BUT</li>
<li>] ... i think that&nbsp;the&nbsp;BETTER plan is to face it head on and ask yourself&nbsp;WHY ??? For me, today started out ok, an&nbsp;early dinner ( which was excellent and very diet worthy) but then a few hours later, I&nbsp;started snacking on sunflower seeds (very&nbsp;salty ),&nbsp; so had an ice cream to wash down the salt and hours later I am wandering the aisles of the grocery story - snack hunting. I didn't even really want "chips" at first but I ended up with a&nbsp;bag. I did go to the store with the best of intentions ( last day to scoop up this weeks sale items) but ... temptation and alas&nbsp;- now - , the chips are almost gone and a 2nd ice cream&nbsp;treat too ..</li>
<li>] Anyways, as per the plan, I am not going to dwell on this failure, tommorow is a new day, what did i learn?</li>
<li>] MAYBE its a &nbsp;'meal cadence' thing - today = very light breakfast, then and&nbsp;early dinner threw things off, BETTER = ] med breakfast, ] light lunch , ] med dinner ] snacks (healthier)</li>
<li>] MAYBE I was just 'due' - I did have 3 very good days in a row previous to today&nbsp;AND its been almost 20 days&nbsp; since the last recorded BAD day (07-17)</li>
<li>]&nbsp;MAYBE I need&nbsp;"planned snacks" - that way you don't feel guilty about, an occasional (weekly/bi-weekly/ ) bag of chips, bowl of ice cream, etc ...</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-05] another bad day, YES&nbsp;and NO</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - today is planned&nbsp;AYCE sushi day! Now,obviously this will be way over budget on calories, salt, sugar, ...&nbsp; Even if&nbsp;I can somewhat "offset" the dinner overbudget&nbsp;by eating and extra light breakfast, lunch and snacks, it still going to be "over budget" so to speak So, will be another BAD day right?</li>
<li>] NOPE as per Diet-no-sugar policy ( see rewards-system) this does NOT count as a BAD day, although neither the&nbsp;SCALE or the TAPE dont understand 'policy</li>
<li>] We will have to see how this plays out over the long term.&nbsp;IF I am&nbsp;NOT progressing ( aka&nbsp;losing #'s, "'s, feeling better) THEN I&nbsp;will likely&nbsp;have to re evaluate this policy</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-06]&nbsp;a GOOD day ?</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - super monster burger and chips&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-08] numbers and GOALS </li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - Today is weigh in monday and I because I am using&nbsp;my blind weigh in strategy I&nbsp;am&nbsp;starting to "get anxious" (aka worry)&nbsp;about knowing my numbers. Am&nbsp;I on track?, if not, how much off track am I?&nbsp; YES&nbsp;I feel better, BUT&nbsp;I am worried about NOT progressing towards my stated goals (&nbsp;&gt; 50 # in &lt;&nbsp;6 months )</li>
<li>] YES&nbsp;I look better, YES my clothes are fitting better, YES&nbsp;I feel better and YES my "conditions" ARE improving,</li>
<li>] NO I am&nbsp;NOT making any great sacrifices from a DIET perspective ( see last weeks SMB, ACYCE sushi, CHIPS,CHIPS,CHIPS and # NOV ice cream treats&nbsp;and fr baked BB pie) or from a FITNESS perspective, YES&nbsp;i am making an effort&nbsp;on the DIET front, YES i am making an effort on the fitness front.</li>
<li>IF my weight is the same or higher - does it change any of that?</li>
<li>PERHAPS 1 - worrying about the # or the amount of progress in a given time (GOAL ) is the wrong thing to be worried about, ESPECIALLY given the above FACTS</li>
<li>PERHAPS 2 - worry about FOCUS on improving upon/correcting last weeks mistakes,</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-08] RESULTS update - coming soon</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - PLAN - CHECK IN/UPDATE&nbsp;WEIGHT #'s &nbsp;on 2016-08-22 || 2016-08-29 - this will be at either DAY# 59 or DAY # 66</li>
<li>// Day 66 is maybe better choice as will be&nbsp;close to a full 60 days VS 58 -&nbsp;7 (vacation), will also be august month end, will</li>
<li>// GOAL - was reach milestone&nbsp;2 ( &lt; 250 ) in 2 months &nbsp;(aka 60 days)</li>
<li>this will give me 2&nbsp;to 3 weeks to "go hard"/focus on optimizing DIET (get back to crudite)&nbsp;and FITNESS (4 * per week, 2x each time)</li>
<li>// ADD GOAL = have 2/3 good diet weeks -</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-08] POTENTIAL - RESULTS - OUTCOME SCENARIOS</li>
<ol>
<li>[1]&nbsp;&gt; 250# - DAMN - dont get discouraged, you KNOW you have made progress, your NOT where you wanted to be BUT you NEED to keep at it, your going to have work a little bit harder at this. Hey, IF it was EASY anybody could do it! PROBABILITY = POSSIBLY</li>
<li>[2] = 250# - WOOT! - things are going well, you are right on the plan, stick to it, PROBABILITY = LIKELY, HOPEFULLY w/3 good weeks above</li>
<li>[3] &lt; 240# - WOOT WOOT!!&nbsp;wow you are a rock star DIET genious&nbsp;and way ahead of schedule(plan)&nbsp;PROBABILITY = NOT LIKELY</li>

</ol>
<li>&nbsp;[2016-08-10] HEALTH - bad day</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # -&nbsp; skin condition which has doing so well, a this just a small step back (after bad&nbsp;diet day)&nbsp;or is it just superficial progress</li>
<li>- need to/should try to&nbsp;tighten up the diet regime (more crudite), have been pretty lax the &nbsp;couple of weeks</li>
<li>- ALSO note incident from 08-09-</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-11] HEALTH - concern - superficial progress</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - after the recent&nbsp;bad day, i am somewhat/more/ concerned that the progress is perhaps just temporary topical</li>
<li>] looking back at some earlier&nbsp;PHOTOS of this condition it appears that BIG progress has been made since the photos&nbsp;were taken just over ## days ago</li>
<li>] the rash/hives/condition&nbsp;hasnt really been bothering me since the most recent incident, but I can still feel them</li>
<li>] its like they are lurking under the skin, just waiting to come back out and attack ...</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-11] DIET/HEALTH - bloat</li>
<ol>
<li>x] # # - again with the stomach -&nbsp;safeway D incident, (see note in p i-s-l 2016-08-11 for details&nbsp;)</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-13]&nbsp;DIET - concern - weight - am I&nbsp;gaining weight? / I am&nbsp;gaining weight</li>
<ol>
<li>] # #&nbsp;- this has been a pretty fantastic diet week from a tasty standpoint, portion sizes have been on the&nbsp;large size,</li>
<li>- daily RATINGS for the week are OK (&nbsp;only 1 bad day, some VG, some G )</li>
<li>- BUT i am&nbsp;FEELING like my stomach is bigger, like I am heavier, like I am gaining/have&nbsp;gained weight/ i am not progressing, also NOTE incident D</li>
<li>- +&nbsp;I am NOT feeling "hungry", a am NOT cravings too much&nbsp;( CRA choc ice cream fri night was bad BUT i won&nbsp;),</li>
<li>- + NO chips,ice-cream,alcohol, MIN bread ( 1 bun, 1 pancake, pasta salad )</li>
<li>- AGAIN - feeling like "WEIGHT #" is going to "tell me" if am "successfull" or not, this is hard to shake</li>
<li>-&nbsp;OPTIONS are &nbsp;1] carry on - FOCUS on diet - / tRY reduce portions, /ADD more crudite,</li>
<li>- OPTION 2] get on the scale now, - /CONFIRM things have gone to hell, AND /give up OR /bear down</li>
<li>- DECISION = ???</li>
<li>- marathon NOT a sprint</li>
<li>- given "pretty fantastic" diet week, IS gaining a pound or 3 all that terrible?</li>
<li>- what IF you could eat like this and maintain weight?&nbsp;#mindblown</li>

Figure out your system and stick to it!</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-24]&nbsp;DIET REsolution ? on weight / weigh ins</li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - the big weigh in is coming up, right after mini vacation(mv),</li>
<li>- will try minimize damage on mv BUT bottom line (as noted prev) is that&nbsp;there are only 3 outcomes are ] on target, ] holding @ ] off target</li>
<li>- I dont think i will be OFF target, if I am I will be confused, i definetly&nbsp;look and feel much better than i did</li>
<li>- likely may be HOLDING and this is what i fear - this means going forward I will NEED to - ] tighten up diet, aka ] reduce portions, ] reduce snacks OR ] settle for slow losses/maintaining higher weight</li>
<li>- possibly ON TARGET and if so woo hoo, keep on trucking with&nbsp;the same plan and check back in a month (|| weekly ??? ANA )</li>
<li>- i think i already KNOW that i need to tighten up my diet a bit ...</li>
<li>- BUT one of the ideas behind this diet is that your not starving, hungry, craving all of the time THAT is NOT SUSTAINABLE</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-29]&nbsp;DIET weights and measures ( after 60 days) - PRE - RESULTS </li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - dont want to know, i think that my- FEAR - is that I am in a "holding pattern"</li>
<li>- i know/realize that i will be up this week after my mini vacation, THAT is not the "problem" BUT the bigger picture</li>
<li>- if&nbsp;I am "holding" (then I will need to "crackdown" on DIET (steamed chicken and brocoli )&nbsp;which is NOT sutainable and boring OR ??</li>
<li>- ?? back to the drawing board? drop cheats, stop vacationing,</li>
<li>- REMEMBER you are&nbsp; building muscle, as NOTEd with increased hiking strength in legs coming back</li>
<li>- oh well, here goes ....</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-29]&nbsp;DIET weights and measures ( after 60 days) - RESULTS </li>
<ol>
<li>] # # - well, I am happy, I am&nbsp;pretty much on my self imposed ambitous target (&gt; 50, &lt; 6) as per 08-08 outcomes post, "good" job D</li>
<li>- I dodged a bit of a&nbsp;vacation bullet this week to get these results, not quite sure how that happened(maybe muscle building), especially given the last vacations disastrous results</li>
<li>- I am in a bit of a holding pattern BUT K.I.M that ...</li>
<li>- muscle - building - is happening , for sure :)</li>
<li>- awesome meals - have been pretty great, (burgers, mousakka, ...) and portions - have been large and ...</li>
<li>- beer - there has been some&nbsp;beer - vacation-2016-003, pub night 1, pub night 2, vacation-2016-002,</li>
<li>- cheating - and a fair amount of snacks/cheats/treats -</li>
<li>- GIVEN the generous DIET FOOD, this DIET would be considered&nbsp;highly sustainable, REMEMBERING fitness, because without the fitness - look out - the results would be much different!</li>
<li>- now the DOWNSIDE&nbsp;is that I was at 252# on 07-11, so net net I am only down 4# in last&nbsp;7 weeks which sounds pretty bad ( until you remember that&nbsp;I&nbsp;gained back 10# after vacation-2016-002 )</li>
<li>+ measures = I am down slightly on measurements, you know my thoughts on these, &nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<li>[2016-08-29] going forward - day 60+ </li>
<ol>
<li>] # # -&nbsp; &gt; stick with the blind weigh ins, YES or NO&nbsp; -</li>
<li>] YES - focus on DIET eating,&nbsp;and fitness (doing),&nbsp; dont rely on the scale to tell you results,</li>
<li>] YES -&nbsp;likely would have been quite discouraged after vacation results (+10#), IF i would have known,</li>
<li>&gt; work harder on fitness, NO&nbsp;maintain fitness workout level,</li>
<li>- 4 x per week, 2 hills per time, 4 more weeks</li>
<li>&gt;&nbsp;cut back on DIET to get to goal weight</li>
<li>- menu plan = 1 chicken, 1 rest, 1+ soup, 1 basa, 1 salad, 1 beef, 1 pork&nbsp;, &amp;&amp;&nbsp;# snacks ( beer, chips, ice cream, cake, sandwich/bread, &nbsp;) =</li>
<li>- lower carbs, lower sugar, less snacks TEMPORARILY</li>
<li>- i have had my '2016 fix' of cherries and ice cream, I also&nbsp;had a 'ton of chips' prevously, I am thinking I am good for SNACKS for a while ...</li>

<li>] SUMMARY</li>
<ol>
<li>] overall a good week, that was pretty much on track, a few cheats, 1 nasty and a little bit of carb overloading on the DIET but overall not terrible, a very good week for FITNESS with 100%+ on plan the HIGHLIGHT was the first noticeable improvement in my HEALTH (skin condition)</li>
</ol>
<li>] DIET</li>
<ol>
<li>] VS the previous week ( 1 vg, 4 g, 2 ok VS 2 vg, 3 g, 2 ok )</li>

</ol>
<li>] HEALTH</li>
<ol>
<li>] - a very good week, noticeable improvement in appearance and feels, what gets the credit? the new treatment?, the effects of diet starting to kick in? the alignment of the stars? a combination of the above, cant really say for sure BUT leaning towards the treatment in combo with diet not feeding the monsters. not cured, still some bad days but</li>
